Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

The Practical Healing team believes that health is more than just numbers on a page, scale, or lofty goal that is always out of reach. Physical and mental health enables you to live out your purpose, achieve your goals, and authentically connect in relationships. We want to help you make personalized choices that lead to changes and changes that lead to freedom, whether your goal is health optimization or living well with chronic disease.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Functional Medicine addresses the root cause of disease processes using a systems-oriented mind, body, and spirit approach and engages both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. Using the principle of food as medicine, we honor each person as an individual and create new pathways to healing—together.
